Results of Mammal Survey (10Th April to 7Th June 2013) RESERVA ECOLOGICA de GUAPIACU (REGUA) ‐ Results of Mammal Survey (10th April to 7th June 2013) Steve Morgan 8/6/13 Results of Mammal Survey (May and June 2013) Contents 1 Introduction 2 The Wetlands and The Inner Trails 3 The Fragment 4 The Outer Trails 5 The Surrounding Farmland 6 Conclusions and Recommendations For Further Study Annex 1 ‐ Equipment and How it was Used Annex 2 ‐ List of Mammals Recorded Annex 3 ‐ Camera Trap Log Annex 4 ‐ Identification Notes I Introduction The objective of this survey was to investigate the density and diversity of mammals in REGUA, in particular in those newer areas of the forest which have been more recently re‐established. Historically, mammals in REGUA have been heavily persecuted by hunting and their available habitat has been greatly reduced by human land use (coffee and banana plantations) and degraded by selective logging. However, the efforts of the REGUA team, since the reserve was established, have reversed these depressing trends and large new areas of forest have been re‐planted and a wetland area has been created. Hunting has been reduced to a much lower level, (not least by recruiting the erstwhile hunters as guides and rangers). The question now was to what extent were mammals re‐ colonising the forest? The survey was conducted between 10/4/13 and 8/5/13 and covered the wetland and the inner network of trails ‐ and, to a more limited extent, the outer trails to the north and east. Some attention was given to a small area to the east known as "The Fragment" and the surrounding farmland. A four‐pronged approach was used: walking the trails looking for animals and/or signs of animals (such as tracks, scrapes, scats) spot‐lighting with high powered torches at night live trapping using baited humane traps (ie "catch and release") camera‐trapping, often at baited sites. In addition, a bat detector was used to locate insectivorous bats, (though identification to species level was usually impossible using only this technique). A full inventory of equipment is given in Annex 1. Each of these methods yielded useful information, though camera‐trapping, especially at pre‐baited sites, produced the most spectacular results. After all, there is no better way to determine whether mammals are present at a particular site, (and if they are, what species they might be), than by keeping it under twenty‐four hour surveillance! Given the limitations of the time available, the logistical problems of accessing some areas and the modest amount of equipment that it was possible to transport to the Reserve, the conclusions presented here are highly impressionistic and provisional. However, it is hoped that they offer at least a snapshot of what is happening and a guide to further survey work. After only eight weeks in the field we might not necessarily know all the answers but perhaps we now have a better idea what questions to ask? Finally, acknowledgement must be given to the guides and rangers at REGUA, whose knowledge and field‐craft was exceptional. The bird guide, Adilei, was of enormous assistance in advising on sites for camera traps and in finding and pointing out species such as Orange‐spined Hairy Dwarf Porcupine and Brown ‐throated Three‐toed Sloth. And the generous and patient help of Raquel and Jorge in providing bait and lifts to the outer trails was invaluable. The Wetland and The Inner Trails 2.1 The Wetland, Its Capybara, Bats And Aquatic Mammals The wetland, consisting of three pools, and the surrounding woodland is all fairly new, (having been established around seven years ago), and was previously pasture. However, it has quickly become naturalised and already supports a wide diversity of birds, insects and butterflies. The three wetland pools support at least three groups of Capybara, each numbering around 10‐16 animals. (On 11/4/13 I made a night walk of the Yellow Trail and connecting trails and disturbed three distinct groups, two of which were on Wetland 2, the other on Wetland 3). There were also other individuals, suggesting a total population of around 45‐50. Later investigations have corroborated this initial estimate. Capybara resting on an island in Wetland 2. By day, the Capybara rest in the water or on the islands on Wetlands 2 and 3, in particular the island close to the wooden bird hide. Odd individuals rest on Wetland 1. By night, most of the Capybara leave their daytime haunts and go to graze in nearby fields. On several occasions large numbers, (possibly two out the three groups) were seen grazing the football pitch outside the Volunteer Houses. A third group was heard (on 3/5/13) heading along the Overflow Stream en‐route to the rough pastures east of REGUA where they joined the cows to graze. This group was subsequently caught by camera trap on the nights of the 4th, 5th and 6th repeating the journey, suggesting that this adventure might be a more or less regular nightly occurrence. This group consisted of at least 14 animals. It was interesting to see that Capybara were prepared to travel some0 50 metres or more to find good grazing. The wetland appears to be suitable habitat for Water Rat. However, painstaking night‐time searches along the margins and several live trapping attempts failed to confirm their presence. It seems likely that the physical barriers of surrounding farmland have so far inhibited their colonisation of this habitat, though this species is notoriously hard to see and could easily have avoided detection. There was a rumour that Brasilian Tapir had been seen in the wetland. Absolutely no evidence was found to support this story, (no tracks, no sightings, no other field signs). Sadly, it seems highly improbable that Tapir are present. Along with Capybara, the other mammalian species to occupy the wetland in significant numbers is the Velvety Free‐tailed Mastiff Bat (Molossus molossus). This species is easy to identify visually, (to genus level), by its distinctively long and narrow wings, its long tail and fast, agile flight. For some while, it was unclear whether the bats being observed were Molossus molossus or its close relative Molossus rufus (the Black Mastiff Bat). However, a chance capture of one individual on 5/5/13 enabled a close examination and so a precise identification then became possible, (ID Note 1). Velvety Free‐tailed Mastiff Bat (captured incidentally as it fell into a laundry bucket). These bats roost in roofs of the Volunteer Houses and Courtyard Buildings (and probably in other nearby structures). At about 40 minutes before dusk they begin to emerge and circle the open areas around the football pitch to hawk for insects. As the light fades they then go off to the wetlands to feed on the hordes of midges and mosquitoes that appear in the early evening. By about one hour after dusk the entire population had usually left the vicinity of the roost. The population appears to exceed 100 individuals from a rough count at the wetland. Observation at the wetland suggested that a few individuals were significantly larger and bulkier than the majority. These bats, still having long tails and long, narrow wings, were subsequently identified as Black Mastiff Bats (Molossus rufus) which are known often to co‐roost with Molossus molossus. 2.2 Paca Hill eand Th Lodge Very early in the survey, Adilei pointed out a good site for Nine‐banded Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) on the Brown Trail at the 200 metre mark. At least one recently excavated burrow was visible together with a well worn network of "runways" through the leaf litter. A camera trap was installed on 11/4/13 and the site baited with bananas. Two days later the camera had caught the Armadillo, two Pacas (Agouti paca) and a South‐eastern Common Opossum (Didelphis aurita), Pacas are known to live singly or in monogamous pairs and so it was presumed that the two animals (distinguishable by the patterns of white spots on their flanks) were male and female. The site was re‐baited every few days thereafter for three weeks with bananas, chopped manioc, avocado, diced apple, corn and other items of fruit. Results were consistently good: the male Paca (who became known as "Porky") appeared on a nightly basis (usually at around midnight) and the South‐eastern Common Oppossum re‐appeared on two occasions. A probable Grey Four‐eyed Opossum (Philander oppossum) appeared on 19/4/13 in an interesting stand‐off with the male Paca, both animals seemingly astonished to encounter each other and very wary of the other's presence. See ID Note 2. White‐tufted Marmosets (Callithrix jacchus jacchus) appeared diurnally on a number of occasions as did a Tegu Lizard (on 17/4/13). On 19/4/13 a feral domestic cat made a surprise entrance. The Armadillo made only two further re‐appearances after its debut on the first night of camera‐trapping. However, the Armadillo's active workings were very evident and a burrow with at least three entrances was discovered only five metres from the baited site. The multi‐entrance burrow on Paca Hill. A fourth hole was located about eight metres away and may or not have been part of the same system. Another cluster of holes, probably forming a second system lay about thirty or forty metres away to the west of the power line, possibly the territory of another animal. In all, it is safe to say that Paca Hill holds at least two and possibly up to four or five Armadillos (based on the number of active workings found).

It is a close relative of the Ocelot and the Margay, and has a rich ochre coat, spotted with black rosettes. The Oncilla is a nocturnal animal that hunts rodents and birds.[3] Appearance The Oncilla resembles the Margay and the Ocelot,[4] but is smaller, with a slender build and narrower muzzle. It grows to 38 to 59 centimetres (15 to 23 in) long, plus a 20 to 42 centimetres (7.9 to 17 in) tail.[5] While this is somewhat longer than the average domestic cat, Leopardus tigrinus is generally lighter, weighing 1.5 to 3 kilograms (3.3 to 6.6 lb).[6] The fur is thick and soft, ranging from light brown to dark ochre, with numerous dark rosettes across the back and flanks. The underside is pale with dark spots and the tail is ringed. The backs of the ears are black with bold ocelli.[4] The rosettes are black or brown, open in the center, and irregularly shaped.[7] The legs have medium-sized spots tapering to smaller spots near the paws.[7] This coloration helps the oncilla blend in with the mottled sunlight of the tropical forest understory.

  • Carbon Offsetting Project in Brazil
    Preserving native forests Since 2010, Atos has supported its customers in their journey towards more sustainable operations and has off set each year the total carbon emissions of all its data centers. In 2018, Atos has expanded this program to cover 100% of residual emissions of its data centers, offi ces, and business trips. In 2019, in partnership with EcoAct, 242,986 tCO2e were thus compensated. Thanks to a new investment made in 2020, Atos has enlarged its existing support to renewable energies to carbon sink preservation projects. An important development for the preservation of the climate. Among the projects supported, Atos invested in a preservation project of native forests in Brazil, as climate-science and market trends have demonstrated the importance of preserving and developing carbon sinks like forests or mangroves. A key leverage to ensure GHG emissions are still sequestrated or captured, in addition to usual emissions reductions and contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals 8,12, 13 and 15. Project The project aims to protect the fragile environment of the Portel region in Brazil by preventing unplanned deforestation through the implementation of a land management system. It combines a rigorous monitoring of the area and an enforcement plan managed by local villagers trained to forest management and monitoring techniques. The villagers are therefore in charge of identifying and removing illegal activities such as logging, squattering and attempts to implement pastures or cattle ranching. The Project also provides capacity building on agroforestry systems and distribution of energy eff icient cook stoves for cassava production, hence reducing even more the local deforestation and developing new sources of Project Floresta de Portel © EcoAct, RMDLT revenues to local population.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. We investigated the density and activity of the oncilla, Leopardus tigrinus (Schreber, 1775), a threatened small cat, in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, using camera-trap data. We described differences in the activity of individuals occurring alone or in sympatry with larger cats. Oncilla presented low densities (7-13 ind./100 km²) and high flexibility in its activity. The oncillas were primarily nocturnal in the absence of other larger cat species – margay, ocelot and puma – but became more diurnal, with a cathemeral activity pattern, when the other cats were present. Oncilla is likely to be in a subordinate position in interactions with larger cats and changes its activity to decrease the chances for interspecific encounters.

  • The Leopardus Tigrinus Is One of the Smallest Wild Cats in South America; and the Smallest Cat in Brazil (Oliveira-Santos Et Al
    Mckenzie Brocker Conservation Biology David Stokes 20 February 2014 Leopardus Tigrinus Description: The Leopardus tigrinus is one of the smallest wild cats in South America; and the smallest cat in Brazil (Oliveira-Santos et al. 2012). L. tigrinus is roughly the size of a domestic house cat, with its weight ranging from 1.8-3.4 kg (Silva-Pereira 2010). The average body length is 710 millimeters and the cat’s tail is roughly one-third of its body length averaging 250 millimeters in length. Males tend to be slightly larger than the females (Gardner 1971). The species’ coat is of a yellowish-brown or ochre coloration patterned prominently with open rosettes (Trigo et al. 2013). Cases of melanism, or dark pigmentation, have been reported but are not as common (Oliveira-Santos et al 2012). These characteristics spots are what give the L. tigrinus its common names of little spotted cat, little tiger cat, tigrina, tigrillo, and oncilla. The names tigrillo, little tiger cat, and little spotted cat are sometimes used interchangeably with other small Neotropical cats species which can lead to confusion. The species is closely related to other feline species with overlapping habitat areas and similar colorations; namely, the ocelot, Leopardus pardalis, the margay, Leopardus weidii, Geoffroys cat, Leopardus geoffroyi, and the pampas cat, Leopardus colocolo (Trigo et al. 2013). Distribution: The L. tigrinus is reported to have a wide distribution from as far north as Costa Rica to as far south as Northern Argentina. However, its exact distribution is still under study, as there have been few reports of occurrences in Central America.

The effects of such encounters on program animal welfare have not been studied extensively to date. The aim of this study was, therefore, to explore animal welfare effects associated with encounter programs in a small felid, the serval, which is commonly involved as a program animal in zoos. Specifically, this study investigated how serval behaviour and adrenocortical activity (level of faecal cortisol metabolites) were affected by short-term variations in encounter frequency. Over the course of the study, the frequency of encounters was manipulated so that servals alternated between four different treatments, involving interactive presentations, behind-the-scenes encounters, both activities combined, or no interaction at all.
